Had a penn reel that was being used pretty rough for two years that I bought from a friend. I was accually amazed how water proof this reel is. there was not much intrusion inside the reel at all, But there were some nasty/dirty grease inside it, so I polished and added some new before the fishing season. Enjoy!

To seperate the main gear with the main body you have to press down the "full" and "free" knobs that goes through the metal lever plate, it is a little tricky but just be patient and you will get it out.

As the lever plate is removed, the last two screws that connects the main body with the gear assembly is shown, screew them out. remember to clean and relube all screews

This grease is new for me, it is medium thick with high isolating features. The grease is used with electrical components often innstalled under the ground. should be protective and good against dirt and salt.

Healthy reel!
Notes: easy reel to maintain. be carefull when taking out some screws as they may have springs attached to it. Carefull when screwing back the screws into the graphite body, easy does it!
Hope this helps, best regards from Norway.
Thor
Thanks for sharing Thor. Nice work.
Electric grease? Let us know how it does in the long run, will ya?
yepp! All I know that it is made for electrical components in dirty occasions... Will report if it breaks! Seems nice in texture and the reel was smooth after greasing it up
Just used this Tutorial when sercvicing two Penn Formula 10KG 2 speed reels. It was a great help to me as this was the first time I had seen these reels.
Thank's Hafnor. ;D ;D
Ive seen my electrician use that on the wired sprinkler controls.
It looks just Super Lube. Super Lube grease has the same properties.
I was a telecom tech for 20 years and know a little about the so called lube used here. This stuff was not really meant as lube at all though it may work as one. In the telecom world there mainly two types of cables, I.W. (inside wire) and O.W. (outside wire). The two main types of O.W. are aerial cable which is the stuff you see running from telephone pole to pole and burial cable. Burial cable is used mainly for under ground cable installations from manhole to manhole or in multi floor buildings that have telephone distribution frames on each floor. The burial cables are filled with this jell which we techs called icky pick, sorry don't know the true name of the stuff or what it is made out of. Burial cables come with the jell installed inside of the cable so water can never intrude deep into it, say if a manhole or conduit gets filled with water or in multi floor applications if a distribution frame/phone closet gets flooded. They do sell the jell alone in varying sizes to be placed in terminations that can get wet or that can be used for what handi said.
I have never known anyone to use it as a lube so I have know idea how it would work but the one thing I can tell you about this stuff, cleaning it off 400 pair cable so you can make terminations is a real pain...lol
